Our Team
Let Us Play is incredibly proud of our sessional team, they come from all walks of life to support the amazing children we have the pleasure of supporting.
All our sessional team have enhanced DBS’s and safeguarding training with many also having first aid training.
Many are teachers or high level teaching assistants in schools, who are experts in SEND specialist care or leading sessions.
Others, who joined our team as young volunteers, have stayed with us working weekends, holidays and evenings bringing with them a huge variety of skills in their chosen careers.
Each member of staff has both our logo and their name on their shirts helping all to identify them, as a team member.
